MPs mark 80 years of solidarity with Holocaust survivors

In December 1942, the government made the shocking announcement that what we now know as the Holocaust was taking place in Nazi-occupied Europe. This prompted MPs to rise to their feet, for a spontaneous moment of silence.

Eight decades later, seven Holocaust survivors were invited to meet the Speaker, Sir Lindsay Hoyle. They then witnessed a fresh silence in the Commons chamber, by the MPs of today.
